Two strong challenges which interfered our implementation raised in the first month. One of he challenges was some meetings were full of noises more especially those with agendas of agricultural vouchers as people were claiming of unfairness. This made us to change our strategies and focuses some group of people in the community. some of these groups are "vikoba", small christian communities, small bus stops, markets and parent meetings in schools.

6 meetings were to be held parallel with the wards and mitaa meeting organised by the local learders in the wards but due to mis understandings in these meetings and some wards not to have them within our implementation period we opt to change our strategy. we decided to use small groups like during "VIKOBA" , small christian and school parents meetings. we also use small gatherings along the bus stop and market places. This strategy increased our meetings to 39 meetings.

Lessons Learned
| Explanation |
|---|
| Community volunteers can do a lot if capacitated. Our volunteers are people with low level of education and they can be seen as people who can not influence others in anything and more especially in sensitizing other in their role in home based care provision. For this case we have lent that people are capable if facilitated. |
| Still there are people who hide AIDS patients and this is stima and Discrimination which is still around our community. Our volunteers manage to take out 4 hidden patient, 2 from soweto and 2 from Rau after recognizing these from their visits and managed to educate their family members. Now the patients are out and accessing support and other services |
Challenges
| Challenge | How it was overcome |
|---|---|
| Provision of home based care is also facilitated by home based care KIT which was a challenge to us as e do not have HBC KIT | We conducted referrals for some opportunistic infections which we could manage by having HBC KIT |
| We expected to use local government meetings organized by local leaders but there were poor management of these meetings | We used other groups of people like VIKOBA, small christian communities and parents school meetings. we also used gatherings in bus stops and markets |
| Some people neglected the use of ARVs claiming that they have been cured by the medicine provided by the one man in Loliondo. This has increased the number of bed ridden patients | Continuing education to people not to abandon ARVs inspite of their beliefs |
